We sent an email to Ernie and it was just returned so I searched for Information and saw this obituary for my cousin Dorothy. We were close growing up and I'll never forget her infectuous giggle and how she would come up with something that would always get us in trouble. I'm glad to have spent time with you while we were living on the Cape. Rest in peace Dorothy. - Cousin Nick

We are saddened by the news of our cousin Dorothy's passing. We were close growing up when our families visited each other and have many fond memories. She was like a sister to us. I'll never forget how she enjoyed her display of Dolls. Rest in peace Dorothy and our Condolences to Chris and all of the Family.
